Cute Jewellery - Scottie Dog Style is Really Popular As a Gift

By Adrian Jones

Or we are able to put together bangles, bracelets or necklets to your requirements at a small extra charge, to create up a cute jewellery ensemble to give to family or a loved one.

The Scottie dog or Scottish Terrier (generally known as the Aberdeen Terrier), was originally a breed from the Highlands of Scotland that were all referred to as Skye Terrier. You can find four other modern day breeds - the Skye, Cairn, Dandie Dinmont, and West Highland White Terrier (Westie). Scotties really are a robust breed which has a wiry outer coat along with a soft dense undercoat in dark grey or black, whilst the Westie is white. The First Earl of Dumbarton who bred them, nicknamed the breed of dog the diehard, after his regiment.

You could think of corgis when you think about small dogs ideal for cute jewellery and beloved by the Queen. But Queen Victoria was only one of the well-known names to own a Scottie. Other royal owners include King James VI of Scotland. When he became James I of England, he sent six terriers - considered to be forerunners of the Scottish terrier - to the French monarch as a gift item.

Cute Jewellery That has a Pedigree History

Other high profile people included the 32nd President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose Scottie "Fala" is incorporated with FDR in a statue in Washington, DC, the 43rd President George W. Bush, , Hitler's other half Eva Braun, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Ed Whitfield, Rudyard Kipling, President of Poland, Lech Kaczynski and actor Tatum O'Neal.

Scotties can be well-known for simply being a playing piece on the board game Monopoly. Referred to as a territorial, spirited dog, they can make a excellent watch dog and usually tend to be particularly loyal to their family.

The most famous Skye terrier who wins the prize in the loyalty stakes was, obviously, Greyfriars Bobby of Edinburgh. The legend goes that Bobby belonged to John Gray, who was working for the Edinburgh City Police as a general night watchman, and the two ended up being inseparable for approximately two years. Once his master died of tuberculosis in 1858 he was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard in the Old Town of Edinburgh. It is said that Bobby, who outlasted Gray by fourteen years, spent the rest of his life relaxing on his master's grave.

Once the faithful dog Bobby died in 1872 and could not be buried within the cemetery itself, simply because it was and remains consecrated ground, he was laid to rest just inside the gate of Greyfriars Kirkyard. Individuals were so touched by the story of this devoted dog that visitors to Edinburgh and also the kirkyard grew. A statue of him was raised at a fountain and is still a popular tourist attraction today, outside the Greyfriars Bobby Bar. Unusual jewellery showing Bobby is one of the cute jewellery designs selling very well in Scotland.

However, you will find a more modern day view that this dog, that's certainly feisty, may have been a graveyard dog that was a stray fed by visitors who assumed he was maintaining a vigil. The tale unquestionably kept the visitors flocking. There may have been two Bobbys when a younger one superceded the first terrier which died. No matter what the reality about Bobby along with his master, it's a good story which keeps people interested even now, while many films have been made recounting the tale, or variants of it.

Scotties are a little bit different from the Skye terrier and therefore are one of the more successful breeds of dogs at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show which has a recent best in show in 2010. They were actually bred to seek out and eradicate vermin on farms and also hunt badgers and also foxes in the Highlands of Scotland. Scotties are territorial, attentive, quick moving and feisty, perhaps even much more than various other terrier breeds. They actually are a delightful subject for cute jewellery and unusual jewellery. You can add the Scottish dog charm along with other animal motifs created by Orkney jewellers. These include the cheeky puffin or wonderful birds in flight. Any of these would make a great gift when dating someone special.
